The Art of Photographing People

Even though this is the travel leg of my blog, and has always been more about my artistic perception of the world around me, I have found myself pondering the question lately - is photographing people part of fine art photography? And I think the answer is yes. I used to walk by a wall and a really cool door, stop, turn around, and take the picture. Good stuff. Now I do the same and wish I had someone in the doorway to add character to the image. To add depth to the scene. To add emotion to the moment. People are becoming my art. And I am so totally cool with that.
